Hillary’s ‘Superpredators’ and ‘Mothers of the Movement’ speakers at the DNC Convention

In 1996 Hillary Clinton was touting her husband’s efforts to stop crime and violence in America. She talked about the growth of gangs linked to drugs and crime. In a speech she praised her husband’s 1994 initiative to put 100,000 new law enforcement officers on the streets of America.

She called those lawless gang members “superpredators.”

Here is the complete CSPAN clip of Hillary Clinton’s 1996 reference to “superpredators:

Fast forward to the 2016 Democratic National Convention and a different Hillary Clinton. A Hillary Clinton who has approved the appearance of mothers of sons whom she once called superpredators.

The convention’s schedule lists the group “Mothers of the Movement” as featured speakers on Tuesday, July 25, alongside former President Bill Clinton. Patrick Hogan from Fusion reports:

Having the “Mothers of the Movement” speak on the same night as Bill Clinton, however, is an interesting choice, given that the former president’s policies on welfare and crime have made him a particular target of that movement. He has also had several highly publicized and acrimonious encounters with protesters during the 2016 campaign.

The Daily Wire notes, ” These [Mothers of the Movement] are the same people who will cheer wildly when the Democrats unveil their latest round of absurd pseudo-victims in order to target police at the DNC in Philadelphia.” Here is the list of Mothers of the Movement speakers:

Sybrina Fulton, Mother Of Trayvon Martin. The Democrats have attempted to play the Martin’s killing as a case-in-point of white police racism. There are just three problems: first, the man who shot him, George Zimmerman, was not white; second, George Zimmerman was not a cop; third, Trayvon Martin was by all available evidence sitting atop Zimmerman’s prone body and slamming his head into the concrete when Zimmerman shot him. Zimmerman was not only acquitted of a murder charge, the Department of Justice couldn’t find anything to charge him for either.

Lezley McSpadden, Mother Of Michael Brown. Michael Brown was a thug who strong-arm robbed a convenience store, then punched Officer Darren Wilson, tried to grab his gun and shoot him, and finally tried to charge him before being shot. This is true according to witness testimony; even Eric Holder’s DOJ could not find something wrong with the shooting. That didn’t stop the left from manufacturing from whole cloth a narrative of evil white police officers shooting black men surrendering by shouting “Hands up, don’t shoot!”

Gwen Carr, Mother Of Eric Garner. Eric Garner was not murdered by police. He resisted arrest and was placed in a submission hold by the cops; he then died of a heart attack because he was dramatically overweight. Garner had a long history of health issues ranging from diabetes to sleep apnea to asthma so bad that he had to quit a city job. Garner shouldn’t have died over selling “loosies,” but blaming his death on cop racism is asinine.

Maria Hamilton, Mother Of Dontre Hamilton. This case isn’t a household name because Hamilton grabbed an officer’s baton and hit him in the neck with it before the officer shot him. The officer was fired because Hamilton was a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic.

Lucia McBath, Mother Of Jordan Davis. Jordan Davis was murdered by Michael David Dunn at a gas station in Florida. Davis was playing his music loudly in his car; Dunn confronted him, then got a gun and shot 10 rounds into the car. Davis was convicted of first degree murder. So what exactly is the problem with the criminal justice system or police, then?

Geneva Reed-Veal, Mother Of Sandra Bland. Sandra Bland committed suicide while in police custody. Rumors of an evil police murder and coverup circulated on the internet, but there was no evidence to back any of them.

Donald Trump stated during his acceptance speech warned,

[I]f you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefully-crafted lies, and the media myths — the Democrats are holding their convention next week.

It appears the DNC Convention will begin with those who hate law and order, something Hillary and her husband Bill once supported. But no longer.

For Hillary politics certainly makes for strange bedfellows.
